I appreciate that. Thank you. The reality is, I dont have real easy access to a lot of this stuff and have to fabricate what I need. It's out of necessity. This 69 is so cut up so badly and yet I want to save it. Yeah it was a roller somebody hack minitubbed with a torch and stuck pop riveted tubs in. I payed $300 for it off another fabo member. It was only a 318 notch with buckets and console, 4 wheel drums, manual steering no A/C. Nothing of any real value, yet I dont have the heart to part it. Bringing it back from the dead. The latest will be making my own sections of rear framerail to remove the spring relocation that is hacked in, and fabricating the rear emergency brake bracket that was cut off and discarded when it was made into a race car. Thank God I have my 67 notch to template stuff off of. As well as roof support pix and a really rusty roof support another member sent me to template off of to make those pieces out of sheet stock.
This "was" someone's parts car. Not anymore. Slowly unfucking this thing. Pic #2 is the roof supports that were torched out of the way in this thing to make space for the minitubs they put in.
Temp installed transition pan to check fitment came from a stripped out 71 scamp in my boneyard. Texas law they wont sell you a complete car out of the wrecking yard. Only half of one. Another fabo member and myself went halvsies on the back half of this car he got the body sheetmetal, I got the transition pan and inner wheelhouses. The metal on this scamp was so nice it was a shame it was even in the boneyard. The difference is we didnt buy a clean one to cut up, we lucked onto a boneyard scamp that the state says pick which half you want, you dont get the whole car.
